Isn\u2019t seasonal baking so fun<\/em>? Late spring\u2019s rhubarb season feels like such a special treat. As soon as we see those bright-pink, perky stalks of rhubarb at the farmers market or grocery store, we know we have to dig out the recipe for these rhubarb muffins. It\u2019s a contest-winning recipe for a reason, from the tender muffin crumb that\u2019s studded with rhubarb to the cinnamon-pecan mixture on top. These muffins taste like the first 75-degree spring day.<\/p>\n Check out our more of our best muffin recipes for spring<\/a> to really soak up the season and have any excuse to meander the farmers market.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugars<\/a> together until the mixture is light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Crack in the egg, and beat until it\u2019s combined.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>Take a moment to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is incorporated.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, and beat just until no flour streaks remain. Add in the sour cream, and beat well.<\/p>\n Add the rest of the flour mixture, and beat just until combined. Fold in the rhubarb.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Be careful not to overbeat once the flour mixture is added to the creamed mixture, or you risk creating dense muffins.<\/p>\n Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners, or grease the muffin tin with baking spray. Fill the muffin tins three-fourths full with the batter.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> This rhubarb muffin recipe makes 1-1\/2 dozen muffins, so you\u2019ll either need to use two muffin tins or to bake the muffins in batches. We like to use a cookie scoop to fill the muffin tins. It\u2019s cleaner and creates consistency!<\/p>\n In a small bowl, stir together the pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.<\/p>\n Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the muffin batter.<\/p>\n Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool the muffins at room temperature for five minutes in their pan. Remove the muffins from the pans and onto wire racks. Serve them warm\u2014we love them with a pat of butter!<\/p>\n Keep the muffins on the wire racks until they’ve cooled completely to room temperature. You’ll then want to line an airtight container with paper towels, then place the muffins inside. Store these muffins at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to prolong storage by a few days, keep them in the fridge.<\/p>\n Cool the muffins completely to room temperature, then pack them away in an airtight container. They can be kept in the freezer for up to two months. To thaw, transfer them to the fridge so they can slowly defrost overnight, or place them on the kitchen counter for about an hour or two.<\/p>\n Once you freeze rhubarb<\/a>, put it in a colander to thaw, and allow any excess liquid to strain out. However, don’t press on the rhubarb; it will get smashed and possibly fall apart.<\/p>\n If your muffins didn’t rise during baking, you may have had too much liquid in the batter, especially if you used frozen rhubarb. Follow our steps above for thawing frozen rhubarb. You can even lightly coat the rhubarb in flour for extra protection against sogginess.<\/p>\n Another cause could have been overmixing the batter. This can overdevelop the gluten, resulting in tough, dense muffins instead of bouncy, tender ones. You\u2019ll want to only beat in the flour and sour cream additions just until they\u2019re combined.<\/p>\n Although taking a peek is so tempting, resist the urge to open your oven\u2019s door. Letting the heat escape and a large gust of cold air whoosh in is detrimental to the rise of muffins (and cakes and quick breads, for that matter!).<\/p>\n Lastly, double-check what you\u2019re working with. Make sure your baking powder and baking soda aren\u2019t expired, and use an oven thermometer to truly ensure your oven is up to temp.<\/p>\n Rhubarb is shaped like celery, so you\u2019ll want to cut and prepare it the same way. Cut off the two thick, rough ends from the stalks, cut the stalks in half lengthwise, then chop them crosswise into small pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You’ll want to grab those bright-pink rhubarb stalks at the market for these rhubarb muffins with a pecan-cinnamon topping.

Naturally, I wanted to put the two things together. I\u2019ve tried a couple of other recipes. The first one I made was extremely bitter, and it also had a grainy texture. The second recipe I tried was extremely dense. If I wanted to, I could have used them as bricks. The only redeemable part of it was the crumble top. It has one the best crumble tops that I have ever made. But, this recipe, turned out amazing. The recipe is pretty easy and simple. The sour cream and rhubarb make the muffins really moist. Be careful to make sure the batter doesn\u2019t have too much liquid. I found that out the hard way. I used frozen rhubarb, but I didn\u2019t drain it all of the way, so there was too much liquid, which affected the bake of the muffins. For the crumble top, I didn\u2019t have any nuts, which the recipe calls for, but the crumble top still turned out great. Once I got them into the oven, a glorious aroma filled my kitchen. Instead of taking about twenty two minutes to bake, it took about thirty minutes to bake all of the way through. Once they were out of the oven, it only took a matter of seconds before my little sisters were swarming them. They were the prettiest muffins, but they tasted amazing. All of the muffins, where were thirty muffins, were gone within twenty four hours. Granted, eight people were eating them, but thirty muffins would usually last us four or five days. There are a couple things I might do differently, such as draining the rhubarb all of the way and maybe putting in some blueberries. Overall, they turned out amazing. I would totally make them again.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-06-03","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OliveClover"},"reviewBody":"I love this recipe but I do make a few additions.
